Approximately one-third of patients with stage IV NET underwent combined hepatic and multi-organ resection. Although modifiable and treatment-related factors predictive of perioperative morbidity were identified, performance of concurrent major procedures did not increase perioperative morbidity. These results support consideration of multi-organ resection in carefully selected patients with metastatic NET.
